: : Has the US Postal Service issued any warnings to its employees regarding the recent mail-delivered strains of Anthrax??
: : Curious, but worried about all you guys (and gals)!!!
: : Be careful!
: : Di
: Yes, but they've just scratched the surface ... more to come, I'm sure. Saw the Inspection Service at a press conference today.
: Two local Mohicanland scares in Hendersonville ... an exploding package in a collection box & white dust in the lobby of the Post office. The carrier, who unfortunately was opening the box, was quarantined. The office was cleared & then closed.
: They SAY both were false alarms ... pranks. What is wrong with these people???
These pranksters should be tarred and feathered. They had to close one of our federal buildings in Columbia because somebody scattered white powder all over a desk. And the recent anthrax mess is making life oh so exciting also for those who work in for large media companies. We now have a "rapid response team" deployed at our newspaper, have been given instructions as to watching for "suspicious vehicles" near the fuel tanks for our delivery trucks, and mailroom and computer personnel are wearing protective gear.
Not exactly conducive to a stress free working environment!
Be careful out there...
